JPMorgan Chase fights off 45 billion hacking attempts each day::JPMorgan Chase says it has seen a sizable increase in attempts by hackers each day to infiltrate its systems over the last year, highlighting the escalating cybersecurity challenges the bank and other Wall Street titans are facing.
Clarification: An earlier version of this story included comments by Erdoes on the number of hacking attempts made on JPMorgan systems last year. A spokesperson clarified after the panel session that Erdoes was referring to all observed activity collected from JPMorgan’s technology assets, malicious or not.
The title is bad. One scan that generates thousands of alerts is generally considered one event. Companies that have a massive footprint naturally get many thousands of scans a day. It’s normal.
Also, +60,000 people and $16 billion dollars is misleading. The people they pay the most are the ones that generally don’t know shit about IT. Sure, some of those technologists are probably top-tier, but actual security experts don’t usually come in large groups. There are exceptions, of course. Large companies pay way too much for generic security solutions. In some ways they are forced, because their infrastructure is massive and they need tons of customization but there is always a fuck ton of waste.
Using big numbers sounds cool, unless you are in the industry and understand that there is a ton of fluff involved.

Ping = attempted hack Accessing random address = hack Port scanning = hack Every single email = hack Every connection they have = hack
Seriously, how did they come up with that number?

Each of my server got ssh login attempt at ~1 request / second. If you have 12 servers, that’s already 1 million hacking attempt per day.

Using a different Port than 22 decreased these numbers significantly for me. Fail 2 ban is active nevertheless

Open a port, see how quickly you get thousands of attempts per hour.
Now be JPM, with thousands of internet exposed interfaces.

Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?
Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?

They are almost certainly being probed by thousands of requests every minute.
It’s likely an aggregation of everything web exposed. Shit like jpchasewordpress.com/admin?sql"=injection attempt" with password credentials and shit.

Was going to say then I must be fighting off thousands a day with my router. Looked at the logs for fun one day and the amount of default port and credential attacks was insane.
